Magnificent Clocks for Chinese Imperial Court from the Nezu Museum, Christie's

About the Item

Magnificent Clocks for the Chinese Imperial Court from the Nezu Museum Christie's, Hong Kong, May 2008. 159pp. 1st Ed softcover. 14 lots profusely illustrated in color. One of the most significant collections of clocks of this type outside the Palace Museum collection in Beijing, this collection presented collectors the opportunity to acquire exceedingly rare examples of the fascinating clocks that were appreciated and treasured by the emperors of China. Examples of Chinese market clocks at auction are extremely rare, and this sale marked the first time that so many superlative examples are being offered for sale at one time. This extraordinary collection is being offered as it lies outside the main mission of the Nezu Museum’s focus of Japanese art. The proceeds of the sale, estimated between US$3.5 -5 million, will benefit the museum, which is currently undergoing extensive renovations and is expected to re-open to the public in Fall 2009. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
